Last Year's Fifth Grade "Around the World" Artist in Residency Project

These flags were made with the fifth graders last year. Mrs. Braden coordinates an artist in residency every year with the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft. Last year the students made flags that represented what the students wanted to be when they grew up or what their hopes and dreams were for the future.  They dyed the fabric and then embellished the flags.  Students also used words in different languages to communicate their wishes.  
This year we have a clay tile mural planned for the fifth grade to make with during the artist in residency.

Mrs. Braden's "Humphrey Gokart!"

If you haven't met Humphrey yet, here he is!  Humphrey is Mrs. Braden's puppet that loves coming to school and help her teach art!  The students love him!  He loves doing reviews with them!  He learns from them and they learn from him.  His sister, Marilyn Bigtoe visits often too.  She is very busy with her ballet classes but she tries to stop by to fill in for Humphrey whenever he's on an audition.  So much fun!

First Grade Eagle!

they did so great! What talents my students have!
